Mw determined in this study compared with short-period body-wave magnitude mb as computed by either ISC or PDE. The Romanche and Chain Fracture Zones creates a huge gap in the MAR and can act as a "Subsea Berlin Wall" segregating the North Atlantic communities from those in other oceans. (2005), McGuire (2008) and Boettcher & McGuire (2009) find that some fault segments are characterized by a predominance of aseismic slip while others are fully coupled. 7) has the shortest T, 4.0 yr, Mw 5.93-6.07 and eight events. By chron 28 (63-64 Ma) about 750 km of the present 1000 km offset had accumulated across them. This transform migration was preceded by a process 2517 Ma during which the Miocene shallow-water platform mentioned above reached sea level as the transverse ridge was first uplifted, then deformed, and finally buried under the sea. . (1993) find that a 10 clockwise rotation of magnetic anomalies north of the Heezen transform occurred within the last 4 Ma, which would put it in extension. The random variations can be considered a consequence of the complicated trade-offs that occur when noisy data are fit with synthetic seismograms that do not capture the full complexity of wave propagation in the Earth. (PAR), immediately south of the Eltanin Fracture Zones (FZs). This is a consequence of the continuity of displacement eigenfunctions for surface waves across discontinuities, and the dependence of the excitation on these displacements. Given the uncertainty of its CMT location, we think it is reasonably associated with a previous rupture of the same asperity as in Figs 4 and 7. Map view of CMT locations of earthquakes along Hollister transform fault from 1976 to 2010. For LNADW and AABW, the Romanche and Chain Fracture Zones (just south of the equator) are the only deep passages in the MAR where interbasin exchange is possible. The principal fracture zones are identified, as are segments of the PAR.
